Hero Quests : Returning to Oakvale
When you finish the trader's quest you end up RIGHT next to your childhood home of Oakvale, so walk on over. You run into a woman who is Rosie - the girl with the teddy bear. Yes I know her name isn't Rosie, the bear's name was Rosie, but heck I want ONE of these girls to have a name. Anyway, her parents are in Bowerstone. "We thought you'd died." Maze is there too, no word of your sister. But a blind seeress in Twinblade's bandit clan may have news. Twinblade was behind the attack on your home. He adds a quest card to the guild list for you.

AUTO SAVE

Explore the town. Note the guard on the dock asks you to sponsor his break for 1000 gold. If you do it, he says nothing. I think this is to get him to "look the other way" if you want to do something bad :)

There's a bard in the bar. Give him 10g for a personalized song about your exploits! struummmm! :)

In the northeast is a "helper" guy who wants to help you figh evil. I am ignoring all help offers.

Go down to the beach in the southeast. You find a ghost! He says his wife is grieving, and that he was a pirate. Gar! He hid his treasure by the jetty at the western beach. He says to use a spade to dig it up and give it to his wife. He helpfully tells you that spades are sold in town.

To the south is a group (only at night) who says the fist fighters gang in Bowerstone lets anyone in - and this isn't Bowerstone. A subtle hint that you have to fight at Bowerstone first.

OK, go to the main beach with the dock. A woman is there, she says her husband went to fish and never came back. Yes, this is the ghost's wife. Note that a clifftop path down by her leads to a closed wooden gate right now. A chest at the end of the beach holds assassin boots.

Get a spade, and dig immediately by the left side of the dock. You find 500g. Give this to the wife - you lie to her about tourists on the boat. She says she'll go shopping. Now go back to the bandit. He is happy, and says to the east is the rest of his treasure, under the axe of the statue in the graveyard. You can have it. He vanishes.

OK, back to the bar for some Coin Golf which is a super fun game. Win the Whisper hero doll for 11 strokes.

I gave Rosie a rose for good measure :)

The cemetery is to the right side of the map. It's called memorial garden. Dig under the axe of the central statue. You get a silver key. an obsidian greataxe and a +150 gold head. Note that you can the read graves but that your father's grave isn't here. That bothers me.
